These are all the things that I have been fantasizing about to outfit my kitchen. Some I haven't bought just because they are expensive, but others just because they aren't something I necessarily would use very often and just haven't gotten around to buying them.
1. Stand Mixer - How much easier this would make my life! Right now I just use a hand mixer and let me tell you, it's amazing that I don't have carpel tunnel in my wrist by now.
2. Garlic Press - I just buy minced garlic in a jar, but if I had one of these I might be more inclined to use fresh garlic!
3. Dehydrator - I have wanted one of these for a very long time (I have had a few stints trying to go raw) and think it would make a fantastic addition to my kitchen.
4. Juicer - I love the idea of juicing, but unfrotunately any of the good juicers are really expensive.
5. Donut pan - I don't need an excuse to make donuts, which is why I haven't bought one of these yet.
6. A pretty cake plate - This will most likely be my next purchase, just so I have somewhere to store all my delicious baked goods and a pretty place to photograph them for the blog.
7. Keurig coffee maker - You all know I have a Starbucks addiction. If I had one of these at home, maybe I wouldn't waste so much money buying Starbucks.
8. A waffle maker - I love waffles and order them out whenever I can because I don't have a waffle maker at home. It would be so great to have so that I can have waffles whenever I want!
9. Soda Stream Soda Maker - This may be the coolest thing ever. Make your own soda? Yes please. I have an addiction to all things fizzy as well so it would be so much more inexpensive and economical to make my own soda.
10. Cuisinart Griddler - This would be perfect for pancakes and grilled cheeses. Right now I just use a skillet for those things, but my skillet has little ridges, which don't make the prettiest pancakes. I could use a griddler.
What kitchen gadgets do you own and love? What gadgets do you wish you had?
Oh, the pretty picture of the dehydrator makes me want one SO badly!!!! And I really want a Soda Stream Soda Maker.
ReplyDeleteAnd I have all of the other gadgets (in a 500 square foot condo with a tiny kitchen...not sure how I manage them all)!
And I get all of my cake stands at HomeGoods! They have such a great selection and great prices!
I would love to have a dehydrator! You definitely got to get a garlic press ASAP, those are SO good and so easy to use! My mom's is the best one I have used, she bought it from Pampered Chef.
ReplyDeleteNever thought I'd say this...that's a beautiful dehydrator! My mom used to have this terrible white, circular machine from the 1980s that took forever to use because it had one layer.
ReplyDeleteI'm starting to think I might need one, too!
I just got a soda stream and love it! We have tooons of kitchen gadgets but I would really love a juicer.
ReplyDeleteGarlic presses are really cheap - go buy one asap!
I started to laugh when I saw the Keurig! I got one for Christmas and since I LOVE LOVE LOVE coffee I thought it would be the perfect addition to my kitchen! Now, I don't know how to practice self control so that lovely coffee machine had me drinking 6 or 7 coffees a day! I just couldn't resist the temptation!!
ReplyDeleteI love everything on this list! I have the red stand mixer and it's not only life changing, but so pretty too. My one gadget/appliance that I have (which is completely beyond frivolous) is a popcorn maker! It is amazing. I never know how much I'd love having it!
ReplyDeleteThe stand kitchen mixer will change your life - I resisted then my boyfriend brought his along when he moved in and I haven't looked back, seriously amazing!
ReplyDeleteSo I feel generic b/c I always say I want everything you want but it's true! The garlic press is on the top of my list though, it would make my life so much easier.
ReplyDeleteI never knew they had donut pans like that, I must look into that!
I want a stand mixer too. If only to make my kitchen look fancy and professional. I never thought of getting a pretty cake plate. So fancy!
ReplyDeletethose are fancy gadgets! I would love an apple core-r; I've never had one!

I think a juicer would be awesome! However, I haven't been able to constitute buying one because of the ridiculously high price of produce in Alaska, and it isn't like there is anything grown locally--unless I'm going to juice salmon!
ReplyDeleteI actually just bought a blender. So excited about smoothies! I had one a few years ago, but it went up in smoke, literally.
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't mind having any of these (especially the Kitchenaid mixer)! My wish list includes a blender and a rice cooker. I can't decide what I want more.
ReplyDeleteI have never even made juice but I would love a juicer... damn blog world makes me want everything!!
ReplyDeleteNot sure if this will be good or bad news for you, but Starbucks is going to start selling K-cups. You'll be able to get the addictive coffee right at home!
ReplyDeleteOut of those items, I have a stand mixer and a juicer. The stand mixer is awesome. The juicer is too but I find that I'm usually too lazy to use it!
ReplyDeleteI want a new food processor. Mine has a big crack in it.
